you lit the candle at both ends
and wait there in the middle
to see which wick burns sprier
while thick wax forms its puddle
I was locked in the freezer holding a candle at both ends yet breathing oxygen~

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.2020©
The tree of life is torn
Between the darkness and the light
Unable to conclude or choose
Which is morally right
And in all the fury
The tree of life is struck
By a bolt of indecision
And it withers to the ground
through the conclaves of sullen asps
one could grasp a reason for being
perhaps its in the changing of the season
burn the candle at both ends
we shall discover it as the mystery unfolds
SAVING GRACE
In the middle of the universe, I stand
Where it all revolves around man
Selling and consuming disastrous blends
Burning the candle at both ends
Neglecting duty, overriding beauty
This story of the ages, never told by sages
Who lived in the bell jar, with the fat cats in the big car
Where small minds, busied and blind
Lost the human race
NO ONE’S SAVING GRACE!
2.4.15: J. Polatnick
Submission: In the Middle of the Universe, I stand
The moons been up all night again
He’s looking rather pale
Been burning the candle at both ends
And now it’s beginning to tell
By the end of the month he will be
A shadow of his former self
It’s only a matter of time
Before people start to click
He’s not just an all night raver
But a total lunatic
He doesn’t seem to care though
Look at him up there
Sipping on the star juice
Totally full of him self
Give him time
His day will come
See if he’s looking on the bright side then.
